Bosh for MVP at the game. He'll dominate this time. He better get plenty of minutes with a lack of C and PF.
I can actually picture an upset with the rooks winning the game. They have a physically stronger front court with Okafor and Howard, so I'm sure that'll present a major challenge for Bosh, Haslem or whoever's guarding them. Bosh is better offensively then the both of them, but he sometimes struggles against the more physical players. Okafor and Howard are also beasts on the boards so I'd expect the rooks to be getting a lot of second chance points as well. However, as everyone already stated, Wade, Lebron and Melo will probably dominate the likes of Gordon, Deng, and Iggy so although it's possible for the rooks to pull off an upset, it'll be REALLY tough for them to do so.
Why are people assuming Wade and LeBron will dominate? They'll both be in the game on Sunday, I doubt they'll play that much at all, like Yao last season.
It's not like they'll get tired from playing in the rookie game anyways, they only have to play offense, and they don't have to work for their offense even. It's like having a shoot around with pylons in your way.
Not saying they're not capable of playing both games, just that you'll find it's usually the way it works. Paul Silas and Stan Van Gundy won't want their guys playing two games (particularly LeBron with a few injury niggles), and the league is generally pretty sympathetic towards that sort of thing.
Sophs by 30!! C'mon, you cannot front on this. It will be close for the first 10 mins then it will just become a show as it does every year. Gordon, Howard and Deng will do their thing, but LeBron, Dwyane, Melo and the rest of 'em.....it's over!!! I just hope they play with two balls so there is enough leather for everyone!!!!! LOL.
